Salvage your vehicle

In many cases, selling your car as salvage is the smarter choice. If it’s still in too good a condition to scrap, salvaging lets you sell it for parts instead. We’ll just need a few extra details about your vehicle, but the offers you’ll receive are often far higher in return!

How to scrap your car in Southwold

1. Get a quote

Just enter your vehicle registration number and postcode into our online form. Submit your details, and you’ll get an instant price for your car. This reflects its scrap value, but if you provide a bit more information when prompted, we can check if your car is better suited for salvage, which often fetches significantly higher prices!

2. More details

As mentioned, providing a few extra details about your car can help you get a higher offer. These details give us a better understanding of your vehicle’s condition, allowing us to determine if it’s suitable for salvage. Since salvage cars are sold for spares and repairs, the more information you provide, the more accurate (and often higher) your price will be.

3. Collection & payment

Once you accept the offered price, you can choose a convenient date and location for collection. There’s nothing more for you to do - your car will be collected safely by trained professionals using the right equipment. Once the vehicle is loaded, the collection is confirmed, and your payment is processed. Funds are typically transferred directly into your bank account the same day.

What is a scrap car worth in Southwold?

The prices we find for our customers are based on the UK average valuation of raw scrap metal. This value can change daily, so it’s impossible to give a ‘one-size-fits-all’ figure to answer this question. However, the price of any scrap vehicle is primarily influenced by its weight, as heavier vehicles are made up from more metal.

Salvage vs scrap

Scrap vehicles are crushed, so the value comes purely from the raw materials that are retrieved. It’s mostly the metal that our buyers want to get their hands on. Salvage cars are broken down more carefully, allowing our buyers to pull out surviving parts which they can reuse or resell. As such, salvage cars are more valuable.

What happens to my scrap car?

Your car will be recycled when you sell it as scrap. By law, it has to be recycled to minimise the impact that the automotive industry has on the planet. We only work with scrap & salvage specialists who follow this rule.

My car is a rare make/model - can I still sell it?

Any and all cars can be sold with Scrap Car Comparison! Over the years, we’ve bought all sorts of vehicles, so don’t worry – even if you drive a foreign import or an obscure, rare model, we can get you a price when it’s time to sell!

Can I sell my non-running, damaged car with no MOT?

Yes. You can sell your car that’s damaged, doesn’t have a valid MOT, or has even been written off! Get a quote from Scrap Car Comparison now.

How do I get the best price for my car?

Many older or written-off cars aren’t destined for the scrap heap. Some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Ensure you describe the car’s condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees—our quotes always include free collection.

But the single most important factor to getting the very best price for your scrap car is to speak directly with one of our advisors! After you accept a quote online, we'll give you a call to confirm details and schedule collection. Use this call to share any info that might boost your offer and get the highest payout possible.

Are you prices really guaranteed?

Salvage quotes depend on the car’s condition, not just its weight. Accurately describing the vehicle ensures the highest price and prevents later adjustments. Misrepresentation can result in lower offers.
